 There are two interfaces to the firmware for direct brightness control,
-EC and CMOS.  To select which one should be used, use the
+EC and UCMS (or CMOS).  To select which one should be used, use the
 brightness_mode module parameter: brightness_mode=1 selects EC mode,
-brightness_mode=2 selects CMOS mode, brightness_mode=3 selects both EC
-and CMOS.  The driver tries to auto-detect which interface to use.
+brightness_mode=2 selects UCMS mode, brightness_mode=3 selects EC

+The driver tries to select which interface to use from a table of

 standard ACPI interface, it is best to use it instead of this direct
